Chinese Wedding Cap

This Chinese hat or cap is more like fascinator than an actual hat.

 The cap come up in images under Qing and Han Dynasty, I can only assume it was worn across both periods.

Used by nobles, emperors and as a modern wedding headpiece.

This hat is held in place by a tie, although it's more likely to have been pinned through and over a bun of hair, but I don't have anywhere near enough hair for that.

Also seen listed as a Chinese landlords hat

Emperors Hat

Coronet, worn by emperors of the Han Dynasty.

This hat was worn by both emperors and empresses and actually 

I have listed this hat a from Han dynasty period but it continued on into later dynasties as well.

The Han Dynasty ran from 206 BC to 220 AD and is considered a golden age of China, it started Hanfu a written dress code which included hats, headwear and hairstyles.

This similar to the hat I previously blogged about is part of a wedding costume and made of mixture cardboard tube and shiny fabric and beads.

Qing dynasty Hat

This is a reproduction of Chinese Qing dynasty Emperors hat

The hat is seen in a painting of Kangxi Emperor in court dress wearing his dragon robes.

The Qing Dynasty ran from 1636 (or 1644 depending on what you count as the start) to 1912.

This hat is actually part of a wedding costume.

The hat is made from mixture cardboard, felt, shiny fabric, beads and what look like Christmas baubles
